   Defined in header <experimental/ranges/algorithm>
   template< InputIterator I1, Sentinel<I1> S1, InputIterator I2,
   Sentinel<I2> S2,

             class Proj1 = ranges::identity, class Proj2 =
   ranges::identity,
             class Comp = ranges::less<> >
       requires IndirectStrictWeakOrder<Comp, projected<I1, Proj1>,     \fB(1)\fP (ranges TS)
   projected<I2, Proj2>>
   bool lexicographical_compare( I1 first1, S1 last1, I2 first2, S2
   last2,
                                 Comp comp = Comp{},

                                 Proj1 proj1 = Proj1{}, Proj2 proj2 =
   Proj2{} );
   template< InputRange R1, InputRange R2,

             class Proj1 = ranges::identity, class Proj2 =
   ranges::identity,
             class Comp = ranges::less<> >
       requires IndirectStrictWeakOrder<Comp,
   projected<ranges::iterator_t<R1>, Proj1>,                            \fB(2)\fP (ranges TS)

    projected<ranges::iterator_t<R2>, Proj2>>
   bool lexicographical_compare( R1&& r1, R2&& r2, Comp comp = Comp{},

   1) Checks if the first range [first1, last1) is lexicographically less than the
   second range [first2, last2). Elements are compared using the given binary
   comparison function comp, after being projected with proj1 and proj2 respectively.
   2) Same as \fB(1)\fP, but uses r1 as the first source range and r2 as the second source
   range, as if using ranges::begin(r1) as first1, ranges::end(r1) as last1,
   ranges::begin(r2) as first2, and ranges::end(r2) as last2.

   Lexicographical comparison is an operation with the following properties:

     * Two ranges are compared element by element.
     * The first mismatching element defines which range is lexicographically less or
       greater than the other.
     * If one range is a prefix of another, the shorter range is lexicographically less
       than the other.
     * If two ranges have equivalent elements and are of the same length, then the
       ranges are lexicographically equal.
     * An empty range is lexicographically less than any non-empty range.
     * Two empty ranges are lexicographically equal.

.SH Parameters

   first1, last1 - the first range of elements to examine
   r1            - the first range of elements to examine
   first2, last2 - the second range of elements to examine
   r2            - the second range of elements to examine
   comp          - comparison function to apply to the projected elements
   proj1         - projection to apply to the elements in the first range
   proj2         - projection to apply to the elements in the second range

.SH Return value

   true if the first range is lexicographically less than the second.

.SH Complexity

   At most 2·min(N1, N2) applications of the comparison operation, where N1 = last1 -
   first1 and N2 = last2 - first2.
